Favorite things. For me.
As promised. A list of my favorite things! I’m going to do my best and try not to have every single thing related to coffee, but I can’t make any promises. đ I have to tell you that one thing that has changed for me during this quarantine is that I have started to care a little bit more about me. I have tried to practice self care, even though days are crazy long and I’m exhausted. Aren’t we all? It’s been a helluva time trying to be all the things to all of the little people in the house. School teacher. Therapist. Assistant. Nurse. Playmate. House manager. Chef. And…

Favorite things
We’ve been self isolating since March. I recently looked at my Target app and the last time I was in the store was March 13. (insert me wiping my tears here) Ok, kidding. Maybe. It’s so crazy to think that we have basically gone nowhere for the last three months. No school. No therapy. No friends. We’ve survived, and kept busy. I put together a short list of our favorite things we’ve used for the boys these last few months. Items that we were so grateful to have, use, and not get bored of. 1. This Ikea kids table has kept everyone busy at one point or another! Once you…

Sensory Bins Made Easy
If you follow us on Instagram you’ll know that I have a love for sensory bins. I absolutely love putting them together and sometimes, ahhhhh well, all the times, I even enjoy getting my hands in there and playing. I like messy play. Don’t hate me. But I really don’t mind the paint everywhere or the ooey gooey chia seed “slime.” I can’t remember if I was always that way as a mom, but one thing is for sure, Christopher has changed the “ohmygoshthatsabigdeal” feelings in my life. A little extra clean up is really no big deal to me. I’ve had BIG deals. We live a big deal. So,…

Teeny tiny self care tips
Self care isnât exactly something on the top of my list. I know itâs important and people are always reminding me to remember to âtake time to yourself.â If you are anything like me this can be extremely hard to do. I usually make sure everyone around me has all that they need before I think of what I may need. I am the opposite of high maintenance. I pretty much am just maintaining. đ I know that so many of us donât have the time to get out for hours without any kids, and even if you have the time there so many other reasons why you canât! Finances…

The “Theraplay” Easter basket
With Easter approaching I decided to come up with a list of basket ideas that do double duty! Not only are they fun, but they provide a purpose. I am always searching for toys that also help our son in his development. He is much harder to buy for since we cannot simply look through the toy section and pick age appropriate toys, or grab a box of Peeps (yum!) and a chocolate bunny. I always need to put so much more thought into what we purchase for him. Pop Toobs – These are great at getting two hands/arms to work together! They help work on arm strength, while making a…
